116 AUSTH.iLlAN PROCTOTRYPOIDEA. 



converging toward the mouth (in nigricoxa, face round 

 antennal depression rugose, the striae only present below 

 insertion of antennae) ; antennal depression smooth in 

 both species. Antennae wholly black ; 1st funicle joint 

 distinctly larger than pedicel, one-half loiigei- than greatest 

 width ; others very transverse. 



Hah : New South Wales (Harwood. Clarence River). 

 Described from one female taken in company with ovi, 

 australis and pilosicejis, 26th May, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Type : In the South Australian Museum, a $ on a 

 tag, the antennae and fore wings on a slide. 



SCELIO PILOSICEPS, -S^J. UOV. 



9 Length, 4.00 mm. 



Very similar to australis Froggatt but the coxae are 

 black : the head, pronotum and sides of thorax have the 

 dense long white pubescence of pilosvs Dodd ; the head in 

 australis is uniformly rugose, in this species the rugosity is 

 less coarse and the caudal j)ortion of the vertex and the 

 occiput are transversely rugose ; the parapsidal furrows 

 are not indicated ; the striae on the abdominal Segments 

 are finer, disappearing in extreme meson of the 4th segment, 

 all the segments with short cross-striae joining the longitu- 

 dinal ones (these striae much less distinct in australis and 

 not present on segment 4-6) ; segments 4-5 in australis 

 have a median longitudinal carina more or less distinct, 

 this is absent in pilosicejjs ; also the legs are of a deeper 

 color ; otherwise the same or nearly so. 



Hah : New South Wales (Harwood, Clarence River). 

 Described from one female taken with the preceding s])ecies. 



Tyjye : In the South Australian Museum, a 9 fiii * 

 tag. antennae and forewings on a slide. 



SCELIO AFFINIS, Sp. 7100. 



$ Length, 3.70 mm. 



Very similar to australis but differs as follows : — 

 in australis the striae on the 3rd segment are irregular, 

 this being caused by the short cross-striae, in this species 

 the striae are uniform without any irregularities ; the
